SWEDEN. Swedish Livonia. Riga. Riksdaler, 1645/4. Riga Mint. Kristina. NGC MS-62.
KM-33; Dav-4594; SB-47; Delzanno-343; Hagander-193; Bruun auction-1098; Bruun-11994. Weight: 28.83 gms. Mintmaster: Henrik Wulff (HW). The Taler emissions from Riga are all rarities, and finding one in anything above VF is an arduous task. The surfaces are rich with a lustrous eye appeal, and handsome toning besets the peripheries. A slight touch of friction accounts for the assigned grade, though this is not distracting in any major way. Clear evidence of reworking of the date is visible even without magnification, with the last digit providing a somewhat stylistically unsophisticated 5/4 hybrid. The numeric grade this specimen has been given puts it far above and beyond any rivals it might have.
